Marvel Announces Major X-Men Wedding

There's a very special wedding coming up in the X-Men corner of the Marvel Universe. The X-Men are currently counting down the final days of the Krakoa era in Fall of the House of X and Rise of the Powers of X, but that doesn't mean some happy stories aren't coming for fans. Mystique and Destiny have been at the center of some of the biggest events during this period of X-Men comics, and fans will get to witness the couple's wedding in a special edition of Marvel's Voices: Pride titled X-Men: The Wedding Special.

This year's Marvel's Voices: Pride will make history with Marvel's first woman-to-woman wedding. Kieron Gillen (Immortal X-Men) will write the Mystique and Destiny story in X-Men: The Wedding Special, which features the duo renewing their wedding vows while also taking readers on a trip through Raven Darkholme and Irene Adler's storied history. One of the highlights will be seeing just when and how Mystique and Destiny tied the knot.

"They've been through hell, mainly at my pen. Finally, giving these two a happy day? How can I say no," Gillen shared.
